For Representative.

Tho people Of our county are par.
ticularly fortunate in having candi-
date who like WIN. Theophilus has
worked his way up from . farmers
boy to be one the best informed men
upon public measures and their ef.
fects upon the people In the county.
His time from . mere boy was spent
in tilling the soil on his fathers farm
near Lime Springs, In summer; his
winters in teaching in the public
schools, for which occupation he had
perpared himself by deyoting his
leisure hours In summer to study.
He II cmphatically self made man,
with that breadth Of intellect which
will enable him AZ q legislator to sup
port measures that come before the
house because Of their merit, regard
less Of whether sprung upon that body
by one party or another. Every per-
son who desires the service of . legis-
lator in DesMoines who understands
the needs OF the public and who has
the independence Of party that will
lead him to look solely to tho public
good in deciding all Legislative ques-
lions should see that the name Of

The republican party in Winnie
sheik county is in q deplorable con-
dition. Its recognized leaders, its old
wheel horses wheeled into line, with
the tools to rob its county treasury
Of $12, 900, which the courts decide be-
long to the taxpayers. The party in
that county has been bulldozed by
men who burglarize the public money
from the treasury with q bogus bond
and drive the custodian OF its funds
to suicide; until the honest men of
the party are powerless in the hands
Of the unscrupulous public robbers
and meters to self-murder. Atits re-
cent county convention these corrupt
leaders nominated for Superintendent
OF schools a man who passes under
the assumed name Of H. L. Coffeen.
In 1875, and for a time subsequent
thereto, this man was at Smiths
Mills, Mimi, contracting debts and
cutting wide swath under the as
sulned name Of Hiram Lampher. A
little more than one year ago Joseph
Mcknight, attorney at law in lie Roy,

himself Colleen, in the District Court
Of Mower county, and fully establish

scented himself as Hiram Lainpher.

secured and obtained over 5000. in
the light Of all these facts the Deco
rah Republican, the organ OF this
organized band OF publ: pIunderers
says: For County Superintendent,
Mr.. Colleen is the best man the Re-
publicans could have nominated.
Shame on such confession, or is it
an apology for presenting the name
OF SO desreputable II person for SO
honorable and responsible posit-
ion!

The Iowa Eyictions.

A new chapter Of facts In connect
ion with the brutal evictions that
have been going on in O. Brien county,
has come to our knowledge since our
last issue. From the report of the
Secretary Of State, of Iowa, which
has come to hand since our paper of
October Goth was issued, we find that
Governor Larrabee on the eth of
September 1887, patented to the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail-
way the very lands in controversy, he
having previously certified to the
Secretary Of the Interior that the
company had completed its line of
road in compliance with the condit-
ions Of the original grant. 1t seems
that the Railroad Company had pre-
vious thereto transferred its interest
in the lands to British Syndicate.
that interest really being about the
save that the devil had in the land he
offered to the Savior If he would fall
dewn and worship him.
On page 145 Of that report We find
that all of section9 96 AZ was patented
by the Governor. From the NV of
that section ID. NJ. Finch and his fami-
~ were elected, his doors having been
chopped down with axes by a posse
OF armed men. After he and his fami-
ly had slept in the road one night
without shelter he was presented with
lease from a British landlord which
on signing and accepting, lie could
return into the house and
onto the premises from
which he had been forcibly elected.
This ha accepted not knowing that
its legal effect was rs fatal to any suit
he might institute, as would be deed
Of conveyance the law prohibiting a
lessee from questioning the title OF
his landlord.

Every honest voter ought to conn

the men whom he believes best
qualified for the places to which nomi-
mated, considering in arriving ut his
decision the moral worth, mental
ability and probable freedom from
partizan prejudice Of the person Sc

dependent and intelligent voter should
vote the ticket thus deliberately
made. No other course is patriotic.
The ''hircd men" who attend elections
to tell free American citizens how to
vote ought to be retired.

Poverty the Parent Of Crime.

So says the old ndage.
Robbery is the parent of poverty,
To abolish povery, and the crime
that grows out of it, we must abolish
the robbery that causes them.
Stop making millionaires by robber
laws.
1t takes the property Of u thousand
citizens to make one millionaire.
Their property taken from them
makes tranps Of them.
That is to say it costs to make one
millionaire, one thousand tramps, or,
in other words, when society makes
a Millionaire it gets in exchange a
thousand tramps.
Society is the great criminal, for it
makes and. then enforces the laws
that takes from thousand produc
ers and gives to a non producing
speculator.
This process is multiplying Grimm
ais Mt an alarming rate.

factory, and not suppressor of
crime. Express,
